I had to Wash mine & vacuum out "sparkles" the other day after the Christmas Parade...
Gesshh that wife of mine got my Truck dirty, in a Parade non the less
At least she didn't hit anything w/the Trailer (I was in school)

 

My friends brother drove it to the airport to pick us up, and then i drove it back to town and around to dinner and ice cream with everyone... i missed it!

 

Tacoma is a name I remember seeing somewhere... I'm with the folks so I'm not calling the stops!

Today:


That was very barely fit but that E-350 went through the tree!

 

Put in 2 new injectors and a new Powermax GT3788VA turbo! We'll see how she performs going over the pass on the trip to Tahoe tomorrow!

 

Well, give a wave while you are down here.

I'm in Vancouver.

 

Tacoma is just a bit south of Seattle on I-5.
If you see this thing


Then you close.

Replaced carrier bearing and unions in the rear shaft.
Also straight piped it. Love the sound now!!

 

I sure miss the Tacoma Dome and Mt Rainier!! Been a few years!!

 

Yeah we were by there.

 

Headed out to the woods this afternoon

 

Well I finally got around to draining the water.
Only got about 2 tablespoons. light was only coming
on with a hard turn into parking spaces.

I found that oblong funnel very handy for not taking a bath.






No diesel on me.

Even with the brake line still a bit in the way it keeps the frame dry
and if you need a bit more turning force you can still get the allen
wrench over the top of the front drive shaft.

My other project was to change a HID ballast that
finally quit after about 5 years in the fog lights.
Seems that I will have to replace the bottom bolt and
the nut clip on the bumper. The assembly was not tight
like someone had tried to take it off in the parking lot.
The other side was still tight. Just odd. But now I have
2 fog lights that work. The other one quit a few days ago.

Did You ever do anything with the stand pipes and dummy plugs I sent you?

 

I posted some photos.
Now the trick with the "new" system is finding them.




1 Stand pipe top section





2 Stand pipe Orifice This is the reason air tests take so long.





3 DIY Stand pipe puller under $15.00





2 Stand pipe puller





1 Well over $200 Stand pipe puller Ford wants an arm,leg and the first and second born children for it.














































Isolation plugs take the place of the top stand pipe section. $200+ again.






Was on the phone talking with Mark about making something like these.
Just one more of the arm,leg and first and second born price tags tools.

Holy crap. That's a lot of pictures. Does it work.

 

Have not tried to pull one out but it sure grips
one of the used ones well. So I think it
will do the job.
